Select input language with ctrl-space stopped working
I have two iPad Pros iPad Pro (12.9 inch) (3rd Generation) iPad Pro 13-inch M4 Both with their Apple Magic Keyboard and trackpad. With iPadOS 17 I could ctrl-space to jump between input languages. Now with 18.1.1 and 18.2 beta this is broken. On the old iPad, the languages used to show EN, then DE. Now it shows EN DE, EN DE. I went to settings and the keyboards were shown as having English and German input for two physical keyboards. I deleted and recreated, now each keyboard has only one language and ctrl-space now alternates between EN and DE. On the new iPad Pro, two keyboards are already set with a single input language, but ctrl-space is not changing the input, it types a space instead. There does not seem to be any way to change the input language using the keyboard.

16" to 27" iPAD's
HI Apple, Can you please design & release a bigger iPad panel. Work the visual engineering side of Live Events & we need this now. Touchscreen support on MBP's always been terrible but with 'sidecar' we have an option, all be it a merger 13" one. Mac mini + Big iPad could be the ultimate 'on the road' office. Shareholders will be happy & you can still play the MacOS / IOS game whilst giving us pro users an option. Bring back Jony Ive?. Its 2024 Best, FF-44.

iOS 18.2 - I can get in without password or touch id
iPad Air M1 - Most recent iOS 18.2 beta3 i did this two times. i have multiple photos on my Lock Screen. I can touch to get from one picture to the next. if I touch enough, it shows me the weather app. From there, I can swipe up for Home and see the springboard. At no point from the start was I logged in (hitting the power button for Touch ID never happened). This appears to be a security hole.

Question about installing and migrating apps from the App Store for apps deleted by developers
I have an app that I've been using for over 10 years now. When I searched for that app on the App Store, it didn't show up. (both in the US, Japan, and Korean stores) There's a phenomenon where the app crashes and dies when performing a specific function. So I'm trying to develop an app that's very similar to that app. When I migrate or restore after changing or initializing my device, the previously installed app is installed on the home screen. There are several apps that don't show up on the App Store and seem to have been removed by the developer. Some apps have a blank icon image on the home screen, and when you click on them, a pop-up appears saying that they can't be installed and asks if you want to delete the icon. Some apps are still installed. Some functions are broken because the developer stopped maintaining them for a long time. They can't be searched on the store either. What are the differences and similarities between these two apps?

PrintCenter disappeared when printing with AirPrint on iOS18.1
Environment iPad:10th iOS:18.1 Printer:EPSON PX-S730 Problem In iOS18.1, When printing with AirPrint, PrintCenter is no longer displayed on AppSwitcher. In iOS17, PrintCenter was displayed on AppSwitcher. Question Is this a specification change? I would like to know if there is a way to check PrintCenter on AppSwitcher in the same way as iOS17. Ref No information after iOS18.1 update. https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/109349 There is no mention of AirPrint updates in the AppleDeveloper release notes. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18-release-notes https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18_1-release-notes

iPad external display inconsistency
iPadOS behavior with secondary displays is inconsistent. Firstly, Apple has not published what is the lower limit for supporting the extended display in non-mirrored mode. In iPadOS 16.1 beta even lower resolutions were supported, but it looks like the monitor must now support at least Full HD (1920x1080). Otherwise there will only be the possibility for mirroring the iPad screen and the Arrangement menu will not be visible in iPadOS Settings. This is the case with all iPadOS versions from 16.1 to 18.2 (beta). Secondly, even on monitors that do support Full HD or better resolution, iPadOS may still choose to only support mirroring with a strange resolution such as 1280x1024 even though 1920x1080 would be available. I have tested with various iPad Pro 11" models from gen 1 to gen 4, various USB-C adapters, and cables. Extended display does work properly with certain monitors, but the above issues still exist on others. I have filed feedbacks FB13576000 (Feb '24) and FB11467189 (Sep '22) on this bug. On the Support Community Forums there are a lot of users mentioning the same issues.

iPhone/iPad lose Data connection when using USB-C to USB-C cables after reboot on ARM Macs
I've noticed an issue when using an iPhone or iPad that uses a USB-C port (such as the iPhone 15 Pro or iPad Pro 12.9" 6th generation) and a USB-C to USB-C cable on ARM Macs (such as the M2 Mini). After rebooting the Mac, the iOS device is no longer recognized despite the iOS device continuing to charge. I can temporarily resolve the issue by reseating the USB-C cable, which allows the device to be recognized again by applications like Finder. However, this isn't a practical solution due to the number of M2 Minis we have (each with an attached iPhone for testing) and the Mini's frequent automatic reboots throughout the day. Using a USB-A to USB-C cable (with USB-A connected to the Mac Mini) seems to avoid this problem altogether, as the iOS device remains consistently recognized after a reboot. As the title suggests, this issue appears to be specific to ARM-based Macs. We've encountered it on both the M2 Mini and a 2021 Macbook Pro with the M1 Max chip. Interestingly, we haven't been able to reproduce this behavior on Intel-based Macs (tested on an 8,1 Mac Mini and a 2019 16" Macbook), where the iOS devices remain connected after a reboot when using a USB-C to USB-C cable. Here are some additional details: iOS Devices & Versions: iPhone 15 Pro: Issue persists on both iOS 17.1 and iOS 18.0.1 iPad Pro 12.9" (6th generation): Issue persists on both iPadOS 17.6.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1 Cables: Apple's 60W USB-C Charge Cable (USB 2.0): Issue occurs Generic/Third-party USB-C cable (USB 3): Issue occurs

iPad Mini 7th Gen Not Supported by Xcode 16
I'm having issues supporting the brand new iPad Mini 7. No simulator and the actual device (just received) doesn't appear to be supported. So I can't test my SwiftUI apps on this new device. I can't even do a "Hello, world!" app. I get this: The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device: Error mounting image: 0xe800010f (kAMDMobileImageMounterPersonalizedBundleMissingVariantError: The bundle image is missing the requested variant for this device.) When will this new device be supported? Or is there a work-around? Or is there an update?

UI is messed up on iPad
My app supports only iPhone mode, and when it runs on an iPad device, it normally displays compatible iPhone mode; But when compatibility mode is displayed normally, everything is fine in the UI. But my code as long as you use the AVPictureInPictureController, open the picture in picture, can lead to code for [UIScreen mainScreen] bounds will change, become the real width and height of the equipment, so the UI disorder; Problems arise when our code is laid out with [UIScreen mainScreen] bounds. Like this: This was normal in iOS16 and iOS17, but suddenly it happened in iOS18 How should my application be compatible with this?

Inquiry Regarding File Size Differences When Migrating from ALAssetsLibrary to PHPhotoLibrary
We are currently in the process of migrating our application from using ALAssetsLibrary to PHPhotoLibrary to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of iOS. However, we have noticed a discrepancy in the file sizes of images obtained using PHPhotoLibrary compared to those obtained using ALAssetsLibrary. Specifically, we would like to understand the following points: 1.Reason for File Size Differences: What are the reasons for the difference in file sizes between images obtained using ALAssetsLibrary and those obtained using PHPhotoLibrary? Could you provide detailed information on the settings and options in PHPhotoLibrary that affect the size and quality of the images? 2.Optimal Settings: What are the optimal settings in PHPhotoLibrary to obtain images with the same quality and file size as those obtained using ALAssetsLibrary? If possible, could you provide code examples or recommended option settings?

When Connecting 9 BLE Devices To iPad 9th Generation, One Device Experiences Connection Failure.
It seems that the connection failure occurs when attempting to establish GATT connections with 9 BLE devices simultaneously. However, when connecting fewer than 8 or more than 10 devices, data can be received without issues. Upon investigation, the following points have been identified: This issue does not occur on iPad 10th generation. The iPad 9th generation uses Bluetooth 4.2, while the iPad 10th generation uses Bluetooth 5.0, so this difference might be the cause. The limitation is 9 devices per device, not per App. The issue occurs even when trying to connect 8 BLE devices with App 1 and 1 BLE device with App 2. It appears that the 9th device experiencing the connection failure is not receiving the result of the service discovery. According to the PacketLogger logs, the connection itself is established, but the service discovery results are not returned. When a 10th device is connected, the 9th device also connects successfully. Once the 10th device connects, the service discovery results for the 9th device are returned. The reproduction steps are as follows: Device: iPad 9th generation (iPadOS 17.6.1) Procedure: Prepare 9 BLE devices. Connect each BLE device to the iPad one by one. Data can be received from devices 1 through 8, but data cannot be received from the 9th device.

Custom keyboard while using external keyboard for iPad
Hi! I'm developing a custom keyboard and my user reported that they can't switch to my keyboard while using external original iPad keyboard. Unfortunately, I can't test it on a real device and I can't find a way to test it using a simulator. My questions: Is it possible to simulate this case on a simulator? Is it possible to temporarily show a custom keyboard while using an external keyboard on iPad? I saw in the photos that this keyboard has a globe button, but my user told me that nothing happens when they hold or press hit.

Hi. This “Nearby Devices” control is very limited. I’ll tell you why:
First of all, you cant unlock the device, even if you know the password. Thats one thing. Then, you cant use your main device to navigate trough the device you are controling. You basically can’t do shit to be honest. And Siri is on a bad mood this days. That’s what I have to say to you my friends. Eu amo vocês. beijos. Consertem essa porra. E o “Eye Tracking” está bugado também. Não funciona direito.

Password App not working
The password app on my iPad has stopped working. It goes through the Face ID then just shows a blank screen. It still seems to be applying ID / passwords when logging onto to sites that need them but I cannot manage the passwords at all. This seems to have happened after upgrading to iOS 18.1 beta but it is working fine on my iPhone which is also on 18.1 beta. Unfortunately I am forced to use Microsoft Authenticator for some apps but this has not been an issue to date and again is also installed on my iPhone. Please, does anyone have an explanation or fix for this as I rely on Apple’s password manager across a range of systems and I’m concerned I will end up losing my passwords. Thank you

It is already working in iOS 17 as I am updating UITabBar.appearance().barTintColor and tintColor But for iOS first i need to change because I don't want that new elevated tabbar so I create custom tabbar controller as described in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78631030/how-to-disable-the-new-uitabbarcontroller-view-style-in-ipados-18 Accepted Answer by awulf. And by doing this, My tabbar looks same like Old and it is working in iPhone and ipad for iOS 16, iOS 17 and iOS 18 too. But the issue is that I am unable to change my tabbar background color. I have also checked this forum: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761056 But not able to change I have set below 3 properties but no effect let appearance = UITabBar.appearance() appearance.backgroundColor = appearance.barTintColor = appearance.tintColor = I have created CustomTabBarController in storyboard and all working fine Also the appearance changed only once per application lifecycle. It will change color by restarting the app then it will pick last selected theme and the colors are changed. but not able to change colors runtime I have also did below code for reloading purpose tabBar.setNeedsLayout() tabBar.setNeedsDisplay() But nothing work

Is there a way to detect front camera location on the newest iPad Pro's and Air's?
With the newest iPad Pro and iPad Air's, the front facing camera sits on the long horizontal edge, which is different from the previous version which had the camera on the shorter top edge. We have an app that needs to put a UI item near the camera. Is there a way of detecting where the front facing camera is on iOS? I have tried doing simple resolution checks, i.e, if width == ipadProWidth || width == ipadAirWidth { do2024iPadProLayout() } else { doStandardiPadLayout() } But this doesn't feel like the nicest way to do this check, because it's liable to break moving forward, and theres the possibility Apple release more devices with the camera on the horizontal edge. Any help here is appreciated!
